'Candida' Actors Outgrow Woodenness; Improve To Give Finished Performances
v	By Dorothy Ann Levin
A hard-working cast overcame a tendency to woodeni.ess in the beginning to present a well-balanced performance of “Candida” in the University theatre Thursday.
The first act of Charles Philhour’s first directing assignment at Miami this year was almost fright-
eningly stiff, but the players picked up the tempo of later scenes until finally they were reaUy interpreting the Shaw comedy. Rather subtle than vivacious, the play requires a delicate technique which at first seemed to be lacking but later showed Itself in more than sufficient strength.
The too-high voice which has always been Shirley Hairaes Gold-ston’s only dramatic fiaw returned to plague her during the performance of “Candida," but she surmounted the difficulty to present a lilting version of toe charming
Casting of Lloyd Symansky as the Reverend Mordi emme as a
surprise to University audiences, who have watched him in comedy parts for years. In thi -., his most difficult assignment to date, Lee really worked on his interpretation, and, except for a few neglected .opportunities, turned in a credible performance.
A smug young cynic in real life, William Reich changed bis personality completely for t!<e part of Marchbanks, giving a remarkably good performance as the cringing poet. The only criticism possible is one of interpretation TTie supposedly deliberate tenseness he assumed in the earlier scenes could well have been varied, luring the

Addington Writes Tax Pamphlet
Conley R. Addington, assistant professor of accounting, will release this week for circulation in Florida his pamphlet, “The Teacher’s Federal Income Tax.”
The booklet has already reached 21 states and nearly 5000 copies have been sold.
The purpose of this pamphlet, as quoted from the preface, “is to present in a concise form, tax information sufficient to meet the needs of the majority of teacher-taxpayers.”
It is the intention of the author to limit the information in the publication to that of teacher’s taxes only, in order to eliminate the confusion that results from a book of a more general nature.
Mr. Addington plans to publish additional booklets of a similar nature. The next, to be releaaed in the fall, will deal with the lawyer’s income tax, and will be followed by pamphlets on the doctor’s and the small business-man’s tax problems.
